Can anyone advise on a herbicide to spray under dormant vines available on the market in Italy? Haven't been able to locate any Roundup.

If you go into virtually any garden store and ask for the above, you will get basically the same product (roundup contains glyphosate ). 1ltr usually dilutes with 40 ltr of water for normal weeds, but you can increase the concentration if required.

Thanks Yes I think I did see this in one ferementa (white bottle, green writing?) but they seemed to indicate it would kill just about everything. Do you have experience of using this under vines?

Have not used it under vines, but if you get a sprayer,then you just target the weeds you want to kill. If the spray hits the soil, then it is neutralised. I have used it around the edge of the orto, around laurels and fruit trees. As it is absorbed through leaves, then you should be perfectly ok at ground level around vines
